Pet Portrait FAQs
i ) Any kind of pet? Yes... dogs, cats, horses, iguanas, piglets, parrots, gerbils, cockatiels, sheep, snakes, lizards, aquaria creatures and complete aquarium environments... any pet is a perfect candidate for a watercolor pet portrait
ii ) How long does it take? Please allow 3-6 weeks for a pet portrait to be completed
iii) What kind of photo can I use? Anykind! Digital, resin, fibre paper, negatives or slides. The subject(s) must be in focus
People, pets and things can be extracted from the photo and placed into a new digital canvas or they can painted in their natural environment. Digital art montages and watercolour painting montages are created this way
iv ) Can I have two or more pets in the same painting? Yes of course! Portrait montages are a wonderful way to preserve both the likeness and the relationship between pets who have been lifelong friends
v ) What about scanning my own photo for email? Clean your photo with a few shots of compressed air. Scan at 300 dpi at 100% with all photo enhancements, filters and dust removers turned off. Save the resulting file in a jpg or tiff. Read more about preparing and scanning your photo archives and documents...
